At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Deputies responded to a disturbance at Centerstone Florida, Bradenton's mental health and addiction treatment facility. Employees at Centerstone called the sheriff's office when Erdman showed up at the facility and began acting erratically. Deputies tried to secure Erdman but he resisted, so they used Tasers and eventually handcuffed him. He died at the scene.
This record exists so that Christopher Erdman, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
